B cells and food allergy.
Review in Current opinion in pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewB cells are known in food allergy pathogenesis for their production of IgE but their roles in the development of tolerance to foods are not well understood. Further understanding of B-cell biology in the context of food allergy is essential for the creation of effective prevention strategies and therapies. RECENT
findingsThe majority of allergen-specific IgE in humans appears to arise from antigen-experienced B cells that have already undergone class switch recombination to other antibody isotypes, such as IgG1, and can also be produced by cells class switching to IgE locally in the gastrointestinal tract. Allergen-specific IgG4 can have protective effects in individuals and is associated with tolerance. Regulatory B cells, which can produce allergen-specific IgG4, are reduced in food-allergic individuals and may also be an important component of tolerance. Therapeutic approaches that block the generation and action of IgE and that enhance tolerizing immune responses are being evaluated for the treatment of food allergy. SUMMARY: B cells play several roles in the development of food allergy versus tolerance. Their functions may translate into the care of food allergy as biomarkers or therapeutic targets and can be employed in other atopic diseases to better understand their pathogenesis and create new avenues for treatment.
